Dialogue[edit]

|
|
And now for the school closures. All schools in Capital City and Shelbyville are closed, as well as West Springfield Elementary and Springfield...
|
|
Come on, come on!
|
|
|
...High School. Springfield Elementary remains open.
|
|
What?! That's not fair.
|
|
Enjoy your day at school, boy! I'll be enjoying a winter holiday at home.
|
|
Is it Fatassmas already?
|
|
Why you little—!
|
|
Homer, stop strangling Bart and put up the Christmas lights.
|
|
D'oh!
|
|
And Bart, the bus is here.
|
|
|
Double d'oh!

Put Up Lights (Animated Job for Homer)
|
|
| After completing Pt. 1
|
|
Thank you, come again! Next?
|
|
Where did all your snack foods go?
|
|
I regret to inform you, Chief, that we have completely sold out. Please accept my most humble plea for forgiveness.
|
|
Huh, that's the first plea for forgiveness I've ever gotten that wasn't at gunpoint. Just give me a hot dog.
|
|
|
I must plead again, for even the hot dogs have all been sold.
|
|
What?! But those babies have been there for five years! What happened?
|
|
I can answer that, m'hoyvin.
|
|
|
It seems those hot dogs — which I now call "Frink Franks" — have the precise chemical formula that makes them the perfect power rods for my Snow-Un-Faller 3000, myes.
|
|
|
They...your...what?
|
|
|
My latest invention, you see. It takes the snow that falls and causes it to un-fall, right back into the sky, creating a blockage that keeps the rest of the snow in the sky.
|
|
That, or the snowfall will turn into meatballs.
|
|
Sounds like a win-win to me.
|

Regrettably, the Snow-Un-Faller seems to have broken. What with the greasing and the grinding...
|
|
|
So, what you're saying is it's cloudy with no chance of meatballs?
|
|
|
That's exactly flaven!

Santa's Tavern

|
| After completing Pt. 2
|
|
Ms. Naegle, what are our plans to improve sales at Costington's this holiday season?
|
|
Well, studies have shown that stores like yours are suffering dramatically from the rise of online retailers, so you'll have to wow the customers to get them in the doors.
|
|
|
What do you have in mind?
|
|
|
Have you considered a slogan?
|
|
|
We have one. "Over A Century Without a Slogan." That's our slogan.
|
|
Okay... Have you considered offering free gift wrapping?
|
|
|
No.
|
|
Then you should offer free gift-wrapping.
|
|
Let me finish... No, we have not considered offering free gift wrapping because that's a terrible idea that will lose us money!
|
|
|
Ahh, but customers still have to make a purchase. And the free wrapping won't include bows or fancy paper or any other features you can upsell.
|
|
Hmm...
|
|
|
Plus, you will make up more than ten times the cost of the wrapping supplies with the additional sales. What do you think?
|
|
Sold!

|
Mayor Quimby has just issued a state of emergency for the city of Springfield. It appears that the city's snowplow fund was spent on a mink coat. Size 8.
|
|
|
I should really learn not to celebrate so quickly after making a risky financial decision.
|
|
Or ever.

|
| After completing Pt. 3
|
|
|
This is unacceptable. Without holiday season sales, Costington's is doomed. It will take a Christmas miracle. And I don't believe in miracles.
|
|
Yes...yes, I'll tell him.
|
|
|
What was that?
|
|
|
I just got a call from an investor who says he's interested in keeping Costington's open through the holidays.
|
|
|
What's the catch?
|
|
|
You'll have to sell the business to him.
|
|
|
I knew it. There's no such thing as a Christmas miracle. What are his terms?
|
|
|
He'll keep the name and the board, and you'll remain as CEO. No changes to anything, and a huge influx of cash.
|
|
|
It's a Christmas miracle!
|
Task: "Collect Snow Shovels" (x155).
Task: "Make Springfielders Prepare for the Storm" (x10). The jobs take place at Visitable Homes and take 4 hours.
If Mr. Costington is owned: Task: "Make Mr. Costington Believe in Miracles". The job takes place at Costington's and takes 4 hours.
If Lindsey Naegle is owned: Task: "Make Linsday Naegle Angle for a Broker's Fee". The job takes place at Costington's, Tomorrow's Costington's, or a Kwik-E-Mart and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
All right. If it'll keep my company open, I'll sell.
|
|
|
Good. The only thing left to work out is how big a fee I receive for closing the deal.
|
|
|
What amount would have the least impact on Costington's bottom line?
|
|
|
Well, the least impact would be if I took no fee at all.
|
|
|
Deal!

Christmas Costington's
|
|
| After completing Pt. 4
|
|
|
Lights are up and beer is in hand. Now to sit back and relax until Christmas.
|
|
|
Show-off. Come on, News Dude, give me some good news!
|
|
|
With the roads only getting worse, all eyes now turn to Springfield School Superintendent Gary Chalmers who still refuses to close Springfield Elementary.
|
|
Student safety is at the top of our priorities...
|
|
Come on...
|
|
|
...and we think our students are safer in school than at home.
|
|
|
Come on!
|
|
Someone get me another beer!
|

Breaking news! Springfield Elementary School Principal Seymour Skinner has announced that school is canceled for tomorrow.
|
|
|
YES!
|
|
NO!
|
|
Mother said that I have to shovel our driveway so she can get to her weekly bingo game.
